Looking more and more like this could be a possibility even though it doesn’t match the rumors the Lakers want to sign young players with the last two roster spots.
What to like about Love? Excellent rebounder and outlet passer. Would definitely help the Lakers transition game with Russ. Also, just as good a passer as Marc.
Career 37% 3-point shooter on 6 to 7 3PA per game for Cavs so could be stretch five for Lakers. Gasol averaged just 2.3 3PA per game.
Poor defender without much mobility or lift. Probably just as bad as Gasol. Have to see what he has left. Showing up for Team USA out of shape was not a good start.
Of course, there’s the Blake Griffin effect that suddenly playing for a ring on a possible championship team could reinvigorate his game like going to the Nets did for Blake.
